sprigs of spring

out in the garden there are small signs of spring

things are starting to grow, mostly weeds................ but I need something to refill my vase so I find a few snowdrops that haven't been munched on by birds? mice? and a wallflower that doesn't know it's not supposed to flower yet.

luckily my neighbour has some lovely shrubs which just happen to be leaning far enough over our fence that I can snip a few sprigs. I'm sure they will be glad I'm helping with the pruning......

They look so pretty in that bubble vase. Spring is nearly underway - I have got a few crocuses and snowdrops out, and my mini daffs have just started to open. Things are getting cheerier! I hope this warm sunshine continues! XX

What pretty photos. You don't need much of a flower to brighten things up do you?! That vase is lovely, I'm sure I've seen it elsewhere and thought what a good idea it is. We're not quite so far on yet but getting there. Juliex
